Change of plans due to the big C!

Hi all,

I wanted to explain my lack of creations and general absence just lately. To cut a long story short, I haven't been well for a while and I am currently still in the UK because of this.

I was diagnosed about a month ago with pre-cervical cancer cells and started having treatment. But on the 25th of last month, my Consultant called to tell me that they have recieved further lab results. I do actually have Cancer of the lining of the womb, as the cancer cells are in lots of tiny patches. I am now on more treatment and am looking at possible surgery in the next few months.

I just wanted to thank all of the people who have constantly mailed me on here, Facebook and in email messages. Even though many of you did not know about what was wrong, it was lovely to know that I was missed and so many of you had noticed my absence. For this, I am truly grateful.

I also wanted to apologise for some of my patterns not working with some of the later games like Ambitions. I need to update them and hopefully I will start working on this soon.

I am also thankful to everyone who has left thankyou messages in the last month on various creations. I promise i will catch up and thank you all in your own guestbooks.

I really do appreciate your comments and it really does inspire me to carry on creating.

Hugs

New creations update :)

Hi all,

Well I am still stuck in the Uk at the moment, so I am having to make do with my notebook. I haven't created/played The Sims for more than 3 weeks now and it is really getting me down. My notebook has no disk drive.I have recieved my Fast lane and my Late Night and I cannot try them out yet...Bah!!!

My PC is over in Italy. But as soon as I can get back, I can start creating again.

In the meantime, I wanted to give you all a little glimpse of what you have to come.

First up, we have the 'Belsim Torch' from Scarab Corp. I have adjusted it so it is much smaller. I have also messed around with the shape/pattern at the bottom. I thought it would look great to have some more variations for lighting in the temples or tombs that any of you may build. It would also look great in an Egyptian themed house either as indoor or outdoor lighting.

Next, we have the 'Fountain of Flowers'. I really didn't like the shape or size of this, so I adjusted both. I think it looks a lot more pleasing to the eye now. I have also took out those silly flowers that stuck out of the top of the sunflowers, at a much higher height. I just didn't think they looked right.  I think it is so much nicer with just the sunflowers.

So there you go, that is what will be coming soon. Plenty more in the pipeline too!

Bye for now!

More fences and lights coming your way!

Hi all,

Just a super quick update. I have created quite a few more fences. The fences I have made have been very popular, so of course I will carry on making more :)

Coming in a few days will be a high version of the High tech fence and a matching flower border version.

There is also a Tall country light and a small Candle sconce coming in a few days too!

My much awaited Fairy Beach house is finally ready and is also currently in pending on TSR. This has loads of unlocked items, like gems, fish, butterflies and unlocked objects. Your Sims will really enjoy living there!

I will then be taking a few days break, just whilst I travel to England. Once I am settled I will be back creating again.

Until then....

Hugs

Creation Updates

Hi all,

I have been so busy at the moment, that I haven't had the time to get all of my creations that have been hanging around published. I really want to try and get these sorted out for this week. I have plenty more fences and the odd random creation coming your way.

I also have my Fairy theme still pending, so I will be releasing them soon too.

Once the Fairies are out of the way I will be changing to a new theme completely. Which I hope I will become known for, as time goes on.

I have always created things that I think other people will enjoy, so now I want to create some stuff that I would like to see more of.

I am fascinated with Science, I used to love to read about all the inventors, when I was a child. Isaac Newton-Reflecting telescope, William Murdoch-Gas lighting, Roger bacon-Magnifying glass, Rowland Hill-Postage stamp, I could go on and on. I was always curious how things worked, I could change a plug at 8 years old!

I absolutley love the Victorian age too, infact there is a lot time slots in History that I am quite interested in. I am passionate about Science fiction too, so it was obvious what theme I should go for.....

Steampunk!!!! It is a theme that I am very excited to start creating for.

With the arrival of the Inventor in the new Ambtions expansion pack, I am sure there is scope for me to create some very exciting things.

My favourite film as a child was The Time Machine by H.G.Wells. So this addition to the game is very exciting for me :)

I am also a very big kid at heart, the first ride I went on in Disneyland many years ago was the Jules Verne ride. Quickly followed by the Star Tours ride. Amazing!

So there you go, lots of exciting things to come!

Till next time..

More fence variations released/on the way! Plus the TSR Lottery, have you had a go?

Hi all,

I am still continuing with the fence frenzy theme. I have readjusted quite a lot of fences now. 2 more are about to go into pending in submissions. Plenty more fences in progress too. I aim to give you much more choice with your building options :D

My other current works in progress, include a modern beach lot, a small starter castle,and a few Sims.

I also have a new theme coming soon. Fairies! My first lot is ready and will be released soon. It is a Fairy Beach lot. Full of butterflies, unlocked treasure and even a magic gnome!

I love to chat, so you can always find me lurking around the TSR Facebook page. If you haven't had a look, you must go and join in with the chat and leave a comment. Go to the TSR homepage and click on the Facebook link :D

4 new fence variations out today! More coming all week. Give yourself more choice with your building options :D

Hi all,

This month I will be doing a "fence frenzy", starting from today. I recently learnt how to create fences and to celebrate, I will be creating lots of different fence/mesh options.

I think the more choice we have with our build items, the more unique our builds can be.

Have you ever built a house or a community lot and just needed a fence that was just a bit taller/smaller?

Maybe you like one particular fence, but you cannot co-ordinate with the same style fence around your flower beds?

Maybe you like a small border fence but you would prefer a taller option to co-ordinate?

Well I hope to solve some of those issues by releasing every fence in the game with at least one co-ordinating option.

I love to build and I find it so frustrating that the game does not provide enough options.

Anyway, check out my Profile as 4 fence variations have already been released for download today.

More coming all week! So don't forget to book mark me and check back often.

Please remember to hit the "like" button and leave me a comment on what you think of them. I love to read your comments, they motivate me so much!

Bye for now

I can now create fences! Wooh! Plus updates on all my other upcoming creations :D (Islamic patterns/Slipknot stuff & more Medieval patterns)

Hi All,

I have tried out some more tutorials and I have now learnt how to create fences. Wooh! I am so pleased! They are currently pending on TSR and will be availlable to download soon :D

I have Moroccan/Islamic themed patterns out today, so go ahead and check them out. These were a request, as there does not seem to be much of that theme out there.

There is 3 Slipknot patterns up for grabs tommorow. 1 of them has been dedicted to the late Paul Gray. Slipknot is my fave band, so I felt I had to create something. I hope if there is any fellow Maggots on here, you will like them :D

After the Slipknot patterns, there is a few random ones coming. Hearts, Skulls, bats and ghost patterns.

I have about 9 more Medieval patterns waiting. This theme was so popular, I decided to create some more.

Splash Mania water park is currently pending too. This is a great lot with 2 functioning waterslides :D

Speak to you all again soon.

Don't forget to bookmark me and check back often.

Wooooh! I have created my first object!

Hi all,

Just followed Catherine's tutorial, that is here on TSR. I have created my first object, a coffee table. Yay!

Ok, so it is very crude and rough but it exists! Plus it works in the game too, so I did something right.

I am so happy right now. Hooray!

Thankyou so much Cath and Sue.xx

Time to say

Hi, Today, I thought I should really catch up on thanking people for all the support and thanks that I am given on here.

I have just finished, it took me nearly 2 hours! That will teach me, to keep on top of thanking you all in the future :D

Thank you so much for your very kind comments! I am so pleased that so many of you like my creations. I really do appreciate the time that is taken to leave me feedback. This really encourages me to carry on creating for you all.

Hugs

Please feel free to add me on Facebook, via my Facebook tab on my profile :D

Medieval patterns now being released. More to come all this week.

Hi all,

I have finally started to release the medieval patterns I created some time back now. 2 have been released and 6 more are in pending. I have 7 more, still sitting in submissions, ready to go :) I am sorry I have gone a little crazy with this theme, but it is one of my faves.

I still have all the projects ongoing too, as mentioned in my previous blog post.

I am just starting another theme, Islamic/Arabian/Moroccan patterns. This was a request from a friend as she could not find anything for this theme for Sims 3.

Don't forget to add me on Facebook, I seem to be spending a lot of time, yakking on there at the moment :) I just love to chat.

I have a Sims 3 updates group too, which is updated daily with all the great custom content out there.

Busy, busy, busy, as always!

Bye for now
